Talking through the cons of signing J.D. Martinez
We are now into Day Three of the Winter Meetings and are still waiting for the Red Sox to make their first move of the offseason. Of course, the market for big bats has still been extremely slow-moving throughout the league, so this is not just a Red Sox thing. We did get a little bit of a hint towards where Boston is leaning at this point, however. By all accounts, it seems as if their top target right now is going to be J.D. Martinez.
Source says Red Sox 90-10 in their pursuit of J.D. Martinez vs. other(s). Makes sense: he’s the best free agent bat available in terms of production, no qualifying offer.
